Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/07/2014 06:45 am Had this coin for some time and can't remember how often I looked at it but was not able to place it. Today I finally was able to fully attribute it, so here it is: Before I provide the description, I give everyone a chance to either identify it or have a guess at it. Any comment is welcome.

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 12/07/2014 09:24 am 'philadelphian' You have one of those? Or are you generally interested in Scottish coinage? Countermark was applied in 1575 to confirm the coin as genuine and half the value. For all who want to see a better picture of both sides https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=105399 including an explanation of the countermark and for a full explanation of the hostcoin plus to top picture of the obverse http://nms.scran.ac.uk/database/rec...00-066-108-C Edited by Medieval 12/07/2014 09:26 am Report this Post to the Staff
